What height is too tall for the suzuki?
 

I had the bike for a few months now. I am 5'8" and think I am too tall for the bike. What do you consider as too tall?

Sister, I'm 6'-1" and go 280lbs and I ride my GeeZer around fairly regularly and no one says a word about me looking too tall or too big for it. (Although a person once asked if I had another GZ for my other butt cheek)

It's not quite as comfy as my Harley, but for 50 mile squirts or less, it does just fine.

So.... the answer to your question (IMHO) is NO. You are not too tall for the GeeZer.

I'm 5'9". I've had the bike for over 3 years now, & it still feels fine. I love being able to flat foot it, & not be tippy toed like some bikes. :2tup:

6'4" here. The GZ was fine for me, great little bike.

6' 0" and I love the GZ250. With the pegs as far forward as they are, I don't think anyone should feel cramped.

I am 5' 11", but don't yet have a motorcycle, so I really can't back up anything I say with experience. Either it actually is too small (uncomfortable, cramped, underpowered for you), or you perceive that it is (you have compared it to larger bikes, someone mentioned it is small, or you just want to move up to something larger). Maybe your legs or arms are long in comparison with the rest. From the posts I have read, a lot of people start with the GZ, then move on to something larger; but usually not as soon as two months. No answers, but maybe some things to think about. Take it from there.

EDIT I thought you wrote TWO months, but see it is a FEW months.

Should be fairly comfy at 5' 8". Probably that unconcious desire to upgrade as mentioned. When we picked up Lynda's GZ I road it home, a 2 hour trip. I found it quite comfy and user friendly size wise even after owning my Vstrom for some time.

Thanks everyone...You gave me something to think about.

Maybe I should have the pegs moved forward

Something to remember. A man and a woman both 5' 8" will not have the same length inseam. The gals will have longer inseams, just the way we like them. The GZ may be a better fit for a man of any height compared to a woman of the same height. This probably applies to most bikes on the market. Lynda found her GZ to be virtually perfect at 5' 3". I had to shrink her M-50 to fit her but now I have a very difficult time just sitting on it stationary.
